Great house, basement heater needs work
As always the house and town are outstanding. The fan on the heater in the basement needs some attention. I will try to send a video with sound.

Another great stay at Windy Cross!
This house is great - from location to amenities, it's fantastic. Wonderful dock, sunsets, and location close to town. The only thing I would recommend would be to add in stairs to the dock in addition to the ladder - for older folks. Will be back again!

Wonderful Family Vacation Spot!
We had a wonderful stay at Windy Cross with our family of 6 adults and 4 kids! The kids loved the bunk room downstairs, and there was plenty of space for all of the adults. The property was fantastic and the location on the lake was perfect. The sunsets on the lake and the hot tub were great evening additions. Morton & Furbish was extremely responsive anytime we had questions or needed anything and were so easy to work with!

Great stay - needs minor improvements
Our family stayed at Windy Cross for a week this winter to ski Saddleback. M&F, as usual, were very helpful and knowledgeable! The house itself was very charming and well-located. The first floor offers ample space with multiple living rooms and a great fireplace and dining area. The views are breathtaking! We're staying at this house this summer for two weeks, and we're excited! However, with minor improvements, this house could be even better: It was very cluttered - all of the available shelves and bookcases were packed with fake flowers, figurines, etc. The master bedroom didn't have a dresser, only 3 small drawers built into the wall, where one was already full of clothes. The pillows were flat, unfortunately. The kitchen was listed as well-equipped, but it was not - all of the pots/pans were Teflon and chipped/scratched, so were unusable. I hope the owners take renters' considerations/comments into perspective before then, as the home would be more comfortable for renters. They truly have such a great property, and we appreciate being able to stay there!

Great location, not ideal stay
Great house in a great location. We were aware the basement had water damage and was not usable ahead of time. Upon arrival, heating system did not work, but they came out quickly to address it just needed a new battery. They had seeded and watered the week prior and the well dried up so we had brown water and had to run to shower at another location. Not a big deal, but we were there for a wedding and so each day, all 10 of us had to coordinate. With little kids, even having another location was stressful. Not the fault of Morton and Furbish at all, they were pleasant, attentive and helpful. But just not ideal for any stay.

31 windy cross is an amazing property. We loved our stay although we wish we had longer. . We are extremely happy with attentiveness. We would never complain about the small first world issues we had …..couldn't get hot tub hot enough and couldn't get television to work. The only reason I even mention is to let you know it was handled by Garr quickly and professionally . I will make sure to rent directly through Morton/forbish next time but you might want to know I looked on your website first and property didn't show, however once I found on Vrbo everything was directed through you. Just thought you might want to know that. Thanks again for everything great place to stay great property management!

Perfection
Winter in Maine can be ... a challenge. By the end of our stay we were hoping for a blizzard so we wouldn't have to leave. The house is probably even more spectacular in summer or fall. In significant need of a break from ... "all this" ... we found it at Windy Cross. The grounds are beautiful, right on the lake. You'll find yourself lost in thought, gazing at the waves, the trees, the weather, the sun or moon glinting off the water, the dazzling stars ... before you know it you've managed to be truly in the moment and far from the worries that made you seek this experience out in the first place. We hope to go back some day.
